Quick Overview

Details

Effective February 2016, the order code prefix for metal gobos changed from MS to ME.

The design of a metal gobo is laser cut out of stainless steel allowing light to shine through and project a white pattern on the surface. A color filter can be added to the fixture if color is desired.

Metal gobos require “bridging” which are very small lines that connect the internal structure of letters and designs. If bridging is not added, enclosed areas, such as the inside of the letter “O”, would fall out.

Apollo metal gobos are made from 8 mil stainless steel with a high level of nickel and chromium. This type of steel produces a very durable gobo with fine detail image and a long life.

Competitor’s gobos are made from 5 mil stainless steel with a high level of carbon. The carbon begins to oxidize (rust) and breakdown faster than a gobo made from steel with nickel and chromium.

Check it out! A magnet requires carbon steel to stick. A magnet will not stick to an Apollo gobo. However, since competitor’s use carbon steel to make their gobos, it'll stick.

In order to ensure the highest quality, some patterns cannot be produced in a particular size or substrate.

SuperResolution® OptionAll metal patterns can be ordered as SuperResolution® glass.

PrintScenic® OptionMany of our metal patterns are also available as a PrintScenic® gobo. This is dependent on the pattern’s level of detail and gobo size needed.
